Goat: All those worry-warts
We could come up with just one goat this week -- or one collective goat, that is. All of the fans and analysts who were panicking over Seattle’s heart-attack inducing wins over the past month are goats this week.
Fans should be less worried about the Seahawks after they dominated in each phase Sunday. The Hawks’ run defense was finally leak-free. The offense relied on Beast Mode. And Wilson was the virtuoso Seahawks fans expect him to be.
Seattle looked like a Super Bowl team Sunday against a group that was almost a Super Bowl team last year. And just when they needed it most, the Seahawks were able to assert themselves as the NFC's best team at 9-1.
